I am not strong but I survive

I am not strong but I survive
I am not weak but I'm alive
I make friends
I don't offend
But life can at times take a dive

I take a walk to appreciate nature
I take light meals for a slim structure
I may gobble
More to enjoy
But not seen silly to maintain stature

I love my car and keeps it sparkling
I love to speed when out on a spin
No road bullies
Dare take liberties
Baseball bat at the ready if they are keen

  1. I gather there is a contrast between the mild mannered man of survival and nature and the demon behind the wheel! I enjoyed the poem.

  3. I think you have a sense of adventure when you are in your car. The need for speed, but yet you are grounded on your walks the need to slow down..;)

  5. I love your opening lines so much. Me, too. I admire your moderation at mealtime, wish I could do the same. Be careful out on the road, kiddo. It's crazy out there!
